                        <p>Two thoughts on original post...</p>
<p>Jython is intended to add python support to a java-based infrastructure, as far as I know... why would you want to install jython in an environment where actual python is the primary technology?</p>
<p>Building on that, if java support is ever added, could PythonAnywhere also support solr?  Frankly, just solr support (as an alternative to open-install-any-java-thing support) would probably be more widely useful to the service (since adding non-google search still seems to be non-trivial) than Jython, which is a kinda-sorta-not-quite-entirely-python implementation. </p>
<p>(not knocking jython - just saying I think of jython as a way to run python when you can't have python (i.e. in a java-tomcat-war-only environment)</p>

                        <p>Since my website users are Java developers, am planning to provide them an infrastructure where they can write Jython and get the executables delivered. Which then they will integrate them into their Java based Apps. </p>

                        <p>@hanleybrand right, solr would definitely be useful -- in fact, when I upvoted Java on our to-do list on ulmastersproject's behalf, if looks like over half the previous times people have asked for Java it's been so that they could use solr.  </p>
